Alexis Y. Poet Free verse

The Captain and I

I am a nerd/geek through and through,
my past time is seeing how something
works.
What really gets me going is numbers 
and equations.
My nick name was little Einstein, I really 
loved science.
I was the loner and math tutor after school.
Tutoring gave me the chance to socialize 
and come out of my shell.
I enjoyed it until I had to tutor the captain
of our football team.
He was arrogant and he had the brains
of a kid in kindergarten.
And I was head over heels infatuated with 
him.
Once we got over our stereotypes of each
other, we became fast friends.
He was actually smart and played the role
of an airhead.
When our walls came crashing down it was
a mutual attraction and respect.
I’m still pinching myself, who would have 
thought the nerd and the captain(football)
would be together.




Yours truly,
Mrs Nerd
